Have you ever wondered how U.S. National Labs are affecting the manufacturing world? Watch the interview with Dr. Lonnie Love, Oak Ridge National Lab, to learn about their mission and currents projects, including a 3D-printed Shelby Cobra that earned them a visit from President Obama.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is currently one the most popular additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for the fabrication of end-use parts. SLS applications are constantly increasing across multiple industries going from the fabrication of consumer products like custom cases for smartphones to custom parts for military aircraft and even sophisticated implantable medical devices. The layer-by-layer technology that pioneered rapid prototyping applications is rapidly evolving into a rapid manufacturing mature process.
